Ozzy Osborne's rockers Black Sabbath have announced the title of their new album: 13.

Three members of the original band, Ozzy Osbourne (vocals), Tony Iommi (guitar) and Geezer Butler (bass) have recorded their first studio album together since 1978's Never Say Die!

It was recorded mainly in Los Angeles and will be released in June, with the exact date to be announced.

The three were joined at the sessions by Rage Against The Machine drummer Brad Wilk.

The album, produced by seven-time Grammy winner Rick Rubin, will be released on Vertigo (worldwide) and Vertigo/Republic in the US, marking the band's return to Vertigo, their original label, a spokesman said.

Before the album's release the group will head to New Zealand, Australia and Japan in April and May to play some live shows.
